About Thigh Lift
Thighplasty addresses excess skin and fat of the thighs, with different approaches for different treatment areas.
Different approaches to thigh skin
The practice’s thigh lift page discusses medial, lateral and mini approaches. These refer to different treatment areas and extents, including the inner or outer thighs and a more limited upper-inner-thigh area. The operation addresses excess skin and fat; the incision pattern depends on the proposed scope.
Making the treatment boundaries clear
Describe where loose skin, rubbing or contour changes bother you and ask which part of the thigh would be treated. Confirm whether the plan includes liposuction and whether another body-contouring procedure is being considered. Incision location and the extent of skin removal should be discussed together. Before choosing a date, ask how the operation would affect walking, sitting, stairs and other tasks relevant to your home or work.
